 | Confronting the Climate Challenge: U.S. Policy Options Subjects: Climatic changes -- Government policy -- United States; Emissions trading -- Government policy -- United States; Greenhouse gas mitigation -- Government policy -- United States; Confronting the Climate Challenge presents a unique framework for evaluating the impacts of U.S. climate-policy options. Lawrence Goulder and Marc Hafstead demonstrate that these policies--if designed correctly--not only can reduce emissions at low cost but also can avoid burdening low-income households or especially vulnerable industries. Lawrence Goulder is the Shuzo Nishihara Professor of Environmental and Resource Economics at Stanford University and director of the Stanford Environmental and Energy Policy Analysis Center. He is also senior fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and a university fellow at Resources for the Future. Marc Hafstead is a fellow at Resources for the Future. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research from 2011 to 2013. |
